1864 $10 MS61 NGC. The 1864-P is a very rare Eagle from a
tiny original mintage of only 3,530 pieces. Like many Civil War era
issues, the '64 Ten is also a condition rarity. Of the few
survivors known to collectors, most fall in the VF-XF category.
This piece is the finest example certified by either of the major
services. It is a solid Mint State coin that is sharply struck
throughout and shows die striations in the fields which impart a
semi-reflective gleam to the coin. Sharply struck on each side.
There are numerous small abrasions scattered about with the most
significant ones (for pedigree purposes) being a tiny alloy stain
above star 6, a shallow horizontal scratch across Liberty's cheek,
and a small tick in the field below the left (facing) wing. A
magnificent example of this rare and highly sought-out No Motto
date. (NGC ID# 264D, PCGS# 8639)
